Score Only. Composed by Brian Balmages. Series; String Orchestra. FJH String Orchestra. Light Concert; Multicultural; Novelty. Score. Duration 4:45. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-ST6462S. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.ST6462S).

English.

Featuring string quartet and orchestra, this tour de force follows a few straggling Irish musicians (the quartet) who find themselves in a junkyard picking up scrap instruments. As the quartet begins to find their groove, they are joined by the rest of the orchestra and the party is on! While not based on a specific folksong, the piece draws on elements ranging from a traditional pub band to Irish stepdance. So much fun, and playable on acoustic or electric instruments!

..., und selten larmetDer Schall durchs offne Feld, ......, die Lufte wehenDie Zweig und Aste durch ... (Friedrich Holderlin: Der Herbst)Eine insistierende herbstliche Klanglandschaft, Ausgangspunkt fur ,,Herbstfestival. Es war schwer, in die rhythmischen Verwebungen der ausserst leisen Ereignisse einzudringen, vor allem eines davon als ,,Anfang zu bestimmen. Ich versuchte mit der Stoppuhr kunstliche Zeitausschnitte zu markieren, um die enthaltene Polyphonie besser studieren zu konnen. Aber Struktur und Erlebnisart dieser Herbstklange deckten sich uberhaupt nicht mit meinen kompositorischen Wiedergabebedurfnissen. Die auf mich zukommende Klangnatur musste in eine Musiklandschaft von Fellen, Holzern, Metallen und klangerzeugenden Bewegungen transformiert werden.Das Stuck ist wie ein Gedicht in Zeilen aufgegliedert. Die Zeilenketten sind so angelegt, dass trotz logischer Folge der Farbsets sozusagen ins Unubersichtliche gezahlt wird. Aufgrund der Nichtproportionalitat von Zeilenlange und Ereignisdichte pro Zeile entsteht aus der sich steigernden Pressung eine polyphone Ineinanderschiebung, die sich auf ihrem Hohepunkt zugleich aus Poly- in Monochromie gewandelt hat. Aus solcher Fluiditat wachst die neunzehnminutige Crescendostruktur der Komposition. Sie lasst Entfernung in eigenartig erlebbare Musik-Nahe umschlagen. Die Komposition verzichtet auf aufruttelnde Reklame fur ihre Klangereignisse. Sie braucht offenes, entspannt-aufmerksames, zulassendes Horen.Die Sagen, die der Erde sich entfernen,Vom Geiste, der gewesen ist und wiederkehret,Sie kehren zu den Menschen sich, und vieles lernenWir aus der Zeit, die eilends sich verzehret.(Friedrich Holderlin: Der Herbst)(Nicolaus A.

One can truly say that Mendelssohn's St. Paul oratorio is a genuine work in progress - such as one finds repeatedly in the composer's works. After the world premiere in Dusseldorf in 1836, the composer sighed: Since I changed a number of things after the performance, notably in the recitatives, and omitted a few pieces entirely, I really don't know how these changes can be made in the quartet parts that have already been engraved.Luckily, the score had not yet been printed at this point in time. It was published not long afterwards (1837) and served as the basis for the old Complete Edition, where, however, it was mixed together with other sources.Michael Marker's present Urtext edition uses the first edition of the score as the main source for the first time. Its inconsistencies were emended by the editor in agreement with other contemporary sources.By forgoing the version transmitted by Julius Rietz (1878), on which all later reprintings were based, in favor of the score of the first edition of 1835, which was personally supervised by the composer, a new Paulus has come to light: freed from a number of conventionalizing, adulterating retouchings, at times more angular in detail and thus more characteristic. (Michael Marker about his New Edition, 1997)
